v1.1.1

This release addresses Twitter's expected upcoming removal of free read access to its API. In particular, it removes read API calls only in core application logic.

Bug Fixes

• Originally, when posting a Tweet, the bot would check whether the previous Tweets the new Tweet will link to exist. This check has been removed to avoid making read API calls to Twitter's API.

v1.1.0 Release

This release includes support for automated testing.

Enhancements

• A new configuration file allows settings to be read from environment variables.
• Tests are run on commits and on daily builds via CircleCI.

New Features

• Scripts are available to retrieve, clean, and upload source vocabulary to the database.

Enhancements

• Tests ensure that functionality is working as expected.
• Documentation provides commands to set up the application.
